Four hats, one person. Orlando, FL · 28.5384° 81.3789°

I help church teams communicate clearly and build tools that make weekends easier.

Listen well.

I start with the person, then the work. Most problems get smaller once someone feels heard.

Build smart.

I write things down and turn them into systems, so good work does not depend on one person’s memory.

Serve people.

Technology serves people and ministry. It is never the other way around.

1.0 / Work

One site for every hat.
Pick one to see it up close.

  1. I manage a book of church and ministry partners at Church Media Squad. I listen first, then fix what is in the way.

  2. A prompt library for Protestant church teams. Pick a prompt, add your church, and start from a first draft that sounds like you.

  3. Mobile-first progressive web apps, made for a thumb and a slow connection. One is a curated feed of Orlando events, food and theme park news.

  4. Small worlds with clear rules. The lake at the top of this page is one of them.

I am Karina. By day I look after church and ministry partners at Church Media Squad. On my own time I run Church Drafts and build small apps for the place I live.

I believe you can teach AI your actual job. Not to replace you, but to give your whole team a capable assistant. Most of what I make starts there.

3.0 / Freelance

Work with me.
Small projects, done with care.

I take on a few projects at a time for churches, ministries and small teams. Here is where I am most useful.

Stand-in offers. Edit them in the admin, under Freelance page.How it works

A set of prompts written in your church’s own voice, for the things you write every week: announcements, emails, social posts and volunteer asks.

A small, fast app that works on any phone without an app store. Good for event guides, directories, sign-ups and internal tools.

I look at how your team onboards and supports the people you serve, then write the process down so it survives a busy season.
